And so, the letterform brief has come to an end and now that all of our finished pieces are on display in the college's foyer, it's time to get going on a new brief, titled "Celebration Of Everyday Objects".
The project says it all in the title, really. We are given an everyday object, and we have to celebrate that object, and show it off as an amazing and iconic object. To kickstart this project, we had to pick our words from a box, (the word I picked out was "Egg Box"), and start researching the designer and it's history, it's purpose, it's inherent design, different variations of that object, and so on. Here's a little sample of my research carried out on the egg box (click on the text for a better view):
The egg box comes in many sizes to accommodate different number of eggs; 6, 12, 18, and so on, but I have choosen to focus on the 6 dimpled egg box, as it is the most iconic egg box. In terms of material used, the recycled paper pulp box is much more iconic than the plastic egg box.
I'm looking forward to the experimentation that is possible with egg boxs, especially in terms of three-dimensional forms!
